Module providing convenience functions.

Deprecation Operations¶

Deprecate a function or method and raise a DeprecationWarning.

The @deprecated decorator is used to deprecate functions and methods. Several cases are supported. For example one can use it to deprecate a function that has become redundant or rename a function. The following code examples provide different use cases of how to use decorator.

@deprecated("0.1.5", replaced_by="sum")
def simple_addition(a, b):
    return a + b

Callable

end_version (str) – Release version of removal.

replaced_by (str) – Function that replaces deprecated function.

art.utils.deprecated_keyword_arg(identifier: str, end_version: str, *, reason: str = '', replaced_by: str = '') → Callable¶

Deprecate a keyword argument and raise a DeprecationWarning.

The @deprecated_keyword_arg decorator is used to deprecate keyword arguments. The deprecated keyword argument must default to Deprecated. Several use cases are supported. For example one can use it to to rename a keyword identifier. The following code examples provide different use cases of how to use the decorator.

@deprecated_keyword_arg("print", "1.1.0", replaced_by="verbose")
def simple_addition(a, b, print=Deprecated, verbose=False):
    if verbose:
        print(a + b)
